My First Sew Together Bag

This is the front of my first Sew Together Bag. I had lots of orphan 'crazy quilt' (machine embroidery quilted)blocks leftover from a past project. Thought they would make a pretty bag.

The crazy quilt blocks were made with flannel so I used flannel for the rest of the bag.

I wanted to make a storage area for my little stork scissors...so I just left an area open when I attached the pin cushion. Wish I had purple elastic!

This bag was NOT easy...especially since I was using Heat and Bond instead of fusible interfacing...(didn't have any)...the Heat and Bond is almost impossible to sew on...it's sticky...had to constantly wipe down needle with alcohol wipe! Now I can start some 'hexies'...been so interested in them for awhile now.

Linda and her husband Tom, their children Mary and Tommy. Bobby and his wife Christine, their children, Chris, Mike and Erica.
